TWO new showhomes will open their doors to the public in Darlington this weekend.

Miller Homes’ will unveil the new properties at The Pastures, its development in Darlington.

The Pastures is the latest addition to Miller’s already expansive portfolio of developments, and benefits from all the beauty of a semi-rural location while still enjoying easy access to central Darlington and surrounding areas.

The site offers a mix of properties include two-bedroom starter homes and three and four-bedroom family homes with prices from £110,000-£175,000.

Angela Cadwallader, area sales manager for the Miller development, said: “The Pastures fulfil a real need for new housing in this particular area of Darlington.

“The choice of two different starter home options shows that first time buyers don’t have to compromise on space or style when purchasing their first home.

“With smaller homes becoming increasingly sought after, yet difficult to come by, I’m sure these will be snapped up in no time by locals as well as those choosing to relocate.”

The two-bedroom semi-detached Ripley showhome and the three-bedroom Woburn showhome are both filled with modern touches.

The Ripley is ideal for the first time buyer and has an open plan living and dining area, complete with French doors. It is decorated in neutral black and white with raspberry accents.

The Woburn showhome is decorated in striking combinations of white, grey, lime and black throughout, creating a fun family home with a difference.

Its open plan kitchen and dining room is a great space for family meals together or entertaining, and the separate living room with two sets of French doors opening out onto the rear garden is an ideal area to relax.

The first floor includes master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the main bathroom.

Located close to Darlington’s picturesque South Park, The Pastures is 20 minute stroll from the town centre.
